I have a set of '94 rear brakes. They are PBR calipers and I believe that they are the same for '93 to '95. But I can't say for sure. If you want a few photos I could dig some up.

Search for 1966_L78 he had a set of '95 brakes installed and he had a few problems with wheel clearance, I think.

Actually search for screen name LDS^SS also... He did this swap, and I think it was under $100...

I am not positive mine are off of a 94 Camaro (thats just what I was told), but I think they are all very similar...

I only encountered 3 problems trying to install these brakes on my Chevelle 12-bolt...

1) The center locating hub of the axle has to be turned down slightly. The hole in the rotor is slightly smaller than the stock drum hole. This should be easy for a machine shop, but the studs will have to be removed first. I ordered new axles from Moser, and they did this at no extra charge.

2) The parking brake cables and mechanisms will interfere with the shocks, but you can swap the calipers and brackets side-to-side (keeping the bleeder screws up), which places the calipers in front of the axles... Maybe some possible clearance issues with the lower control arms (but I was also installing the Global West arms), but looks like it would work... I thought of swapping the ebrake assemblies but I would have to drill out the blank bosses on the caliper. I think Doug used late 80's Camaro rears, and they look very similar, except the ebakes are reverse (better for the Chevelle)...

3) My wheels didn't clear, but they are aftermarket (Wheel Vintiques) 15-inch rally rims. The stock Chevy rallys I used in my mockup fit with just a slight rubbing on the caliper cooling fins... A little clearancing of these fins will allow the wheel to fit (I think Doug did this also).

I mocked up the assembly on a bare 12-bolt I had out of the car...

So mine are still sitting in a box, right next to the tall spindles and Cadillac/Trans Am setups that I have never got around to installing...
